La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

Football is not completely fair, it has never been like that with or without VAR because there are attempts behind the scene to manipulate referee decisions and match results as well as a title race while there are chances for pure human mistakes. It's not just a conspiracy theory but it already happened with big clubs in La Liga, Serie A and there were legal investigations about that in the past too.

Things like this will only be known several years later and our discussion about it is non sense, can not change anything in this season or these matches. Like World Cup 2002 in Japan and South Korea was full of drama with suspicious decisions of referees that contributed considerably to eliminate Italy and Spain while support South Korea, one of two host nations, to go to semi finals. Many years later, manipulations were brought to light but what happened in that World Cup 2002 tournament remained and could not be changed.

I agree with you that the world of football is not entirely fair, and there will always be behind-the-scenes games that will certainly harm one party. So at this point, we as spectators must be able to understand this, because we don't know who and what is behind all this. So, although basically disappointment is undeniable over Barcelona's loss, but what can we do, because the match is also over and it is clear that there will be no repeat.

So it's better for us to just enjoy this commotion,, because we as spectators don't need to be carried away deeper just because of this injustice. But even so,, I hope that in the future, the world of football can be much fairer, because it feels a bit uncomfortable. Because basically, the one with the most money will always win.

Barcelona was playing well at the beginning. But later their defense was playing comparatively poorly. Judging by the way they conceded goals, it is clear that Barca could not defend in an organized manner at the moment of pressure. Girona had enough chances to score two more goals at the end. But unfortunately they could not score. If they could have scored those two goals, the winning gap would have increased even more.

Barcelona's weak point is the defence, the opponents already knew that, they simply put pressure on the weak point.
Barcelona perhaps push forward and really play by pushing their opponents under pressure, all this undermines defensive problems that they neglect a lot.
Proof however that even minor teams if they believe in it, can beat even giants.

This is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the Spanish league. Just like the Premier League, smaller teams can beat bigger teams. Nobody thought Barcelona would lose this match. But Girona achieved the seemingly impossible and earned three valuable points from Barcelona. Even if you're the strongest team in Spain, you have to take every opponent seriously and accept the consequences. Barcelona seemed a bit too relaxed against their opponent, I sensed that during the match. As a result, they had to relinquish the lead to Real Madrid.

After the Barcelona game, a lot of fans have been fuming regarding the refereeing and the VAR for both the Athletico and Girona games..
Barcelona had a terrible game for sure, but I will still continue to say that the VAR and the referee officials for this game were terrible.
...

You don't need to go far as to bring proof or evidence, this tackle on Kounde was a clear foul and I still can't understand the main reason why it wasn't reviewed by the so called VAR, they sometimes make football look stupid even in video games they'll review it so why are these ignoring some of these decisions? Although that's not why Barcelona lost the game, they had the best of chances to get the job done and dusted but they choose to play with fire knowing fully well that Madrid won their game, it is so painful for the fans, if Barcelona had converted their chances we won't have been talking about this incident or foul on the French player Kounde.

Barcelona fans likes complaining and whining a lot when the controversy in the game didn't sway in their favour. When Chelsea won Barcelona in the UCL Barcelona fans gave excuses about how the referee handled the game. Athletico Madrid won Barcelona by 4:0 they complained about referee officials, same again with Girona.

Had Barcelona played a good game and took their chances on goal in all those games and won it there wouldn't have being all this fuming by the fans. Let call a spade a spade, Barcelona displayed poor performances in each of the games thats why they lost it. If they go on with this performance they risk losing the title to Real Madrid.

Truly an unexpected result, Girona's second goal was a surprise, which also caused Barcelona to lose the top position. Even with a draw, they would still be behind Madrid. 
In fact, Barcelona had many opportunities and shots, but they were not effective in converting them into goals. 
The points gap is still small, so Barcelona can still catch up. But I'm not sure Madrid will let Barcelona close the gap. This rivalry might become even more interesting until the end of the season.

Girona may not have gained much from their win over Barcelona, ​​but they have achieved a huge feat. Barcelona's position has been shattered and they have suffered a major setback. Most Barca fans were surprised that they had beaten many strong teams with ease but they could not win against the weaker Girona. The thing is that Barcelona's players may not have taken this match so seriously. Luck was crucial for the win as Barcelona had the ball in their possession for most of the match but could not come back with a win. Real Madrid benefited more from Barca defeat. Real are at the top of La Liga and if they can maintain their consistency in the next matches, they can make it difficult for Barcelona to win the trophy.

Many people think Barcelona played better in terms of overall performance. Real Madrid, while seemingly lacking in quality, have a habit of winning every game. They're a true winners' team. Barcelona's loss was disappointing, but it added excitement to the upcoming match between them. The Barcelona-Real Madrid game has become even more anticipated. Following Spanish football is becoming more enjoyable every day.

I think the reason why we are not going to see this being the reason why they lost is because they could have won inspite of everything if they just scored a few chances that they got. Like that Yamal chance early in the game when he was one on one with goalkeepr was a great chance and he should have scored that easily but missed. What we are seeing here is that it is not looking that great and should be a problem for Barcelona to care.

Referees are always subjected to insults or warnings from players, but this must not be something that can be accepted and tolerated. When they take action and send off players, they do the right thing.
I are sorry, but this must be a practice that is always implemented. It's useless if we continue like this, we won't get anywhere.

Girona surely gain ‘much’ with that win, the three points they’ve got is also important for them and right now they’re having the same points as Getafe in Laliga..assuming they lost that game they would have been three points behind them.

Barcelona players played the match seriously I think especially because they’ve just lost with four goals to Atletico Madrid, just that luck was with Girona…Barcelona had lot of chances in that game but they weren’t able to score.

Barcelona definitely needs to increase their performance in the league at this time of the season because we have just fifteen games left in the Laliga this season, if they’re consistent in winning their upcoming games and then they got to win the El Classico against Real Madrid in the league they I think they’ll definitely win the trophy..

Barcelona fans are always like that. When their team loses, they blame the referee, but if their team wins by cheating, they actually consider the referee's performance to be the best. I still remember Barcelona beating PSG 6-1. If VAR had been in place at the time, Barcelona wouldn't have been able to pull off that incredible comeback. In that match, the referee clearly favored Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona fans didn't admit it.

Barcelona doesn't need to keep blaming the referee. The most important thing now is that they must recover and play well if they want to win the title, as they currently trail Real Madrid by two points.

Referees deserves some punishment by an independent body within Fifa. It's because of them we have had a lot of misguided practices in football. Perhaps 2 years banned from coaching and I'm very sure we all going to live in peace, corruption will slide away. It's because there has not been good delivery why players continues to get away with some of the things they did. Look at what was happening in Real Madrid against Benfica yesterday, Gianluca deserve two match ban.

I also noticed something among top clubs in many leagues. I observed Barcelona has been crying on the timeline ever since they lose to Girona. When they win and Referee do their ways, they appreciate them and say it's good football but when it doesn't goes as they expected, they cry and disturb everyone. Same Barcelona Atletico Madrid finished like they were not wanted in the game were crying and disturbing for Girona that help us opened their yansh.

in my opinion the referees have to be very careful but many times they make mistakes that are glaring but for this they are never punished, i think that what happened against Juventus by Inter is also a very serious thing and should be punished at least with a small disqualification, i really don't see why the matter should be rectified!

[Zanab247]

Girona really did it… I don’t think many people believed they could. Yesterday felt like a final, not just a normal La Liga game. Personally, I enjoyed watching it. And congrats to Real Madrid too (and the supporters). There’s no need to look for referee misjudgments, as I believe Girona deserved this win more than Barcelona.

Many Barcelona fans are already pointing accusing fingers at the referee for Barcelona's loss to Girona. And they are indirectly saying that the LaLiga body doesn't want Barcelona to win the LaLiga trophy for this season, they want Real Madrid to do that this season. Let's see how the season will go down, whether these assumptions are true or false

I know the referee contributed what make Barcelona not to beat Girona or equalize  that game, because there are some fow the referee blow against Barcelona for Girona to use such opportunity to take advantage of the game to beat Barcelona which they did to start leading Barcelona in that game to secured victory at the end. If Barcelona mean this trophy this season, I don't think is too late for Barcelona to lift this trophy, because their coach know what to do to improve the players to start displaying what will make them to take the position from Real Madrid again.

I'm not Barcelona fan but I believe that Barcelona will still repeat what happened last season in this season to surprised people that conclude that Barcelona will not going to lift this trophy.

It was an enjoyable match for the neutrals and Barcelona enemies, but for Barcelona fans it's a night to forget because they ended the night in pains and misery. Despite Barcelona playing well they ended up losing and from the social media reactions, Barcelona fans are blaming the referee for bad officiating. From images available on the media, there were moments Barcelona players were fouled but the referee didn't do anything. The league management has to do something about these officials.

After such a horrible defeat against Madrid in the cup, getting a loss in the league and losing the top spot is also a terrible thing for them. Barcelona had MANY chances, they played so good and yet they got unlucky and unfortunately lost the game. This happens sometimes, it's normal and sometimes lower rank teams end up getting a win and shock the world.

Now Barcelona needs to realize, they have done badly for the past two games, and they need to figure out a way to get better and do a better job otherwise they are not going to recover, so whatever is the problem, they need to fix it and be better.

Barcelona wasted chances that could have resulted in a draw or even a win. However, due to their increasingly fragile defense, teams like Girona have also managed to score goals due to their weak defense. Frankly, Girona have regressed significantly this season, unlike when they first arrived in La Liga.

[verdinio]

And this is the point. You don't just blame refree for your lose when you failed woefully to convert your chances to goal. I will welcome the idea if Barcelona had score their chances and refree cancelled all the goals scored. The case here is different, Barcelona had so many chances to level the game and even take a lead but what happened? They missed every chances including the penalty missed. On what basis do they really want us to blame the refree for bad officiating? No officiating is absolutely perfect but with the help of VAR, poor officiating is becoming minimal as all the official can not get it all wrong. Barcelona should accept the lose, prepare and come back stronger.

The referee will certainly have his faults, no one says that it is something that should not be done, but i say that it is absolutely necessary, having the referee who works against you can sometimes be a real problem but you absolutely must not always look for excuses, there are times when it is true that he penalises you, but not always

At first I thought your post was a bit rude, but then I checked the previous pages and I agree, too much whining  The funniest thing is that at the beginning of the season Barcelona voiced the position: “We must respect the referees who have a difficult job, we are not Real to complain.” Now the main sources of complaints are Barcelona, ​​although, for example, after the game with Atletico, where the score should have been even more than 0-4, it would be embarrassing to mention the referees.

After the second goal was scored, immediately, a friend of mine had to exclaime "pray for Barca!" I could not help but laugh so hard because we had a Barca fan seated next to us. It was so unexpected and at same time shocking, yes we know Girona is not a weak side actually but we did not expect that Barcelona defeat, maybe this would humble Barcelona a little.

This is hardly seen in the French League, where PSG have been having a free ride over the years. It is also noteworthy to state that Barcelona is in a bad shape currently. Despite creating a high number of goal-scoring chances, they have been able to convert only a few.

Hansi Flick has adopted a defensive system that is risky and it has led to the exploitation of their defensive lapses. The club has also been facing financial problems which have also affected them negatively.

Yes. Barcelona was even labeled bankrupt because they paid referees because they were given too many advantages, but when they lost they always blamed the referee. They should have realized that the defeat was their own fault not because the referee was biased against them. This is what I dislike about Barcelona they can't accept defeat.

So in my opinion, all Barcelona players should be self aware. Instead of blaming the referee they should cultivate a champion's mentality to overcome anything, especially when they're behind. They must unite and work together.

Admit defeat instead of making excuses. Especially when they lost against Girona, it was their own fault for not winning. They had a penalty opportunity but didn't take it. Honestly, I don't agree with Yamal being the best player. The proof is that he played poorly, wasting the penalty opportunity.

Although I expected barcelona to win. But I am not too surprised by Barcelona's defeat. Barcelona has a record of dropping points against relatively weak teams. Even in the last season we saw barcelona dropping points against teams in the relegation zone. Barcelona dominated in the first half of this match against girona. But their performance in the second half was completely chaotic. Hansi flick will have to find  the reason for this  problem. Barcelona is 2  points behind real madrid. If they continue to perform like this in the next matches, they will have no chance of  occupying the top spot of the table.

Girona really performed well in this match, and they deserved to win. barcelona played well in the first half, but girona  dominated in the second half. They created a lot of scoring chances. On the other hand, barcelona's finishing was weak. They definitely needed an experienced player like lewandowski  in the starting XI. Also, we have  seen poor performance from barcelona's defenders in the last few matches. They failed to play well against girona. Barcelona lost 4- 0 against atletico madrid.
